ADGER COLLEGE WILL BRING SUIT
AGAINST HER BoNDSMEN.
A Dificplty Against which the Pe0
pie Of Abbeville County were
Warmed.


At recent meeting OF the board of trustees
of this College a. resolution was adopted di-
recting It's financial comr:littee to collect, by
suit, If necessary, the arrears Of interest upon
all the solvent bonds subscribed to the cndow-
ment fund thereof and TO compromise and
settle the doubtful ones on such reasonable
terms as the committee shall judge best.
In order TO retain the services of these teach
erS or secure others. and provide the best COM
pensaticn possible Tor them, IT will be neces-
sary for the management OF tho College TO set
tie up arrears and collcc. the accruinp interest
on all bonds subscribed to the endowment
fund promptly.
Heretofore the board of trustees has been
very indulgent and reluctant TO enforce
through the Courts the collection Of interest
on these bonds. so generously subscribed by
the friends of the College in all parts Of Oco-
nee, and in many sections of tho counties Of
Anderson, Abbcvillc, Greenville, Laurens and
Newberry. as also in some other parts of the
State. and il has been only in cases OF posi-
tive refusal TO pay interest that suits have been
resorfed To, and judgments In favor of the
College have been rendered in every case
which has gone before the Courts.

A political revolution has swept ,over, the
Sandwich Islands. King kalakua has been
reouired TO dismiss his Ministers of State, one
of whom, Hon. Walter NJ. Gibson, is known
personally or by reputation to many Of our
readers. The people of these islands charge
that the kings government is corrupt ana un,
faithful. A new ministry has been formed
and the former ministers arc under arrest.
Mr.. Gibson has done great deal to advance
the material prosperity of the kingdom, and
we regret to learn OF his downfall. IL is pos

him may be untrue.-KeoOec Courier.
